RE: FLASH: FLASH 99% BAD

[monkey]

check his site out on www.useit.com

basically, hes the self-appointed king

of usability. a lot've the stuff on the

site is worth reading actually, i dont

go for taking pot shots at the guy,

although he seems to think were all

info hunter-gatherers who freak out

if we see a loading screen that stops

us getting to the precious data within

three clicks...

Pardon my ignorance... But who is Jacob Nielsen?  Just a web-reviewer?

It appears he is not very well liked...

Sat at his table for lunch last year... I left without eating.


A few weeks ago I saw a site that had 'FUCK JACOB NIELSEN' t-shirts for

sale, does anybody know the url? I am ready to invest...


Cheers
